It is practically impossible for us to learn just one type of multiplication trick and try to apply it in every situation so for that we will discuss each of these tricks individually as per the situation it applies to and practice rigorously in order to have  a solid command over it.

Example and steps for Fast Multiplication Tricks – Short Cut method

To elaborate my point further let’s take some examples:

1)34*12

2)25*14

Now, just observe the above examples and instead of multiplying these numerals conventionally, Take them as if:

e.g. 1) You are recalling the table of 34 up to 12.

For that, just follow these steps:

a) Multiply the number (other than the number which is close to 10)by 10 i.e. 34*10=340

b) Now recall the table of 34 two more times and for that just multiply 34 by 2 i.e. 34*2=68

c) And finally add the result obtained in both the above steps 340+68=408 and you’re done.

Similarly for the second example

e.g. 2)25*14

a) 25*10=250

b) 25*4=100

c) On adding 250 and 100, you’ll get 350 as simple as that.

So you can use such types of tricks while multiplying any 2-digit numeral within the range of 11-14 with any other 2-digit numeral. I hope this article will help you a lot.
